We have installed VS 2010 64 bit version on a 64 bit operating system but in the the Task Manager the image name for vs2010 display as *32. On searching in google it seems that the display indicates the VS 2010 is running on 32 bit version and we have the same issue we have in SQL2005. 64 bit version of .Net Framework is installed. Please let me know what could be the reason of a 64bit version of a software runs in 32 bit version.

A:
There is no 64-bit version of Visual Studio 2010 (or any other version of Visual Studio, for that matter). There is a 64-bit version of the .net Framework, but Visual Studio is a 32-bit process.
There are, however, 64-bit and 32-bit versions of Sql Server, so the version you install will dictate the version that is running. That said, Sql Server Management Studio appears to be based on the Visual Studio shell, so there is only a 32-bit version of that available.
